# Preload Model

Grammar — Preload file|Model File queue|Immediately/For Next Map
Flags — Native | Action

Preloads a model file. The file must be explicitly identified (it won’t work if you plug in a variable to that parameter). Preloading will force an asset or data entry to be loaded into memory before the map starts, rather than be loaded on demand as the map runs.

# Arguments

• string [ filepath ] — File
• bool [ preset::PreloadQueue ] — Queue

Returns — void

native void PreloadModel(string path, bool queue);
